Asia Pacific Cookware Market Growth
The Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific region recorded an average consumption of 10.9 meals weekly in 2022, which was a substantial growth from 10.3 meals in 2021. The cooking rate largely remained stable (7.2), with Laos recording the highest home cooking rate at 12.3 meals weekly. The sustained growth in the demand for home cooked food is expected to bolster the Asia Pacific cookware market expansion in the upcoming years.
In southern parts of Asia, single-person households displayed the highest cooking frequency and consumed all their meals. On average, they cooked 8.0 meals weekly and consumed 8.7 home-cooked meals weekly. On the other hand, two person households prepared 6.5 meals weekly. This is expected to bolster the Asia Pacific cookware market development in the forecast period.
Based on the market analysis, rural areas exhibit the greatest cooking frequency in the region, due to a strong connection to conventional cooking practices, a slow-paced lifestyle, and access to fresh, plant-based ingredients. Two-person households consume around 8.0 meals weekly, which increases as the size of the households. This is expected to play a significant role in influencing the market dynamics in the upcoming years.
